Abstract
Mycalamide B, a potent antitumour agent, was synthesized from cheap, readily available starting materials: ethyl lactate, ethyl isobutyrate, 4-chlorobutanal, and 4-chlorobutanoyl chloride. The trioxabicyclo[4.4.0]decane ring system was created by reaction of a methoxymethyl ether with a silyloxyoxirane induced by phosphorus pentoxide.
